On the 23rd matchday, GAK 1902 met FC Juniors OÖ in the 2nd league. And it made it possible for an upside-down junior troop with faults of their own to find the Grazers on the right track. Even a penalty that was not used contributed to the fact that the guests were ultimately left with no points. The GAK can continue to hope with this home three. There are still 7 games pending and Klagenfurt and Innsbruck are still in sight. As early as next Sunday you will know where you stand with the “Reds”. Klagenfurt Austria is waiting in the morning.

GAK hits twice, Juniors award 911
The GAK recently took a big slap at BW Linz with the 0: 5. Accordingly, reparation is also on the agenda. This is also necessary if you don't want to say goodbye to the promotion campaign early on. But the Juniors OÖ are in great shape, most recently they managed to stay three times without conceding a goal. The talent factory in Linz, captain Wimmer, is out of action for at least six months with a cruciate ligament rupture, and can then stand up to the “Reds” right from the start. You give the impression of being more active and you can often be found near the GAK box. The Graz team, if they want to stay in the promotion business after the license has been granted for the Bundesliga, have to win at home, as they have problems playing their game at the beginning. But with the first chance to score in the game, it is 1-0 in the 15th minute. Gerald Nutz with the pass to Hartberg newcomer Lukas Gabbichler, who nets hard. This hit then has an accelerated effect or comes to life in the game. 19th minute: Martin Harrer tries, but guest keeper Tobias Lawal prevents worse. 24.Minute: Schellnegger with the penalty area foul on Nakamura, but the poorly executed Benko penalty cannot be saved by the goalkeeper. 27.Minute: That must actually be 2-0, but Zubak proves to be too timid in the end. 38th Minute: Goalkeeper Lawal cannot tame a useful corner. The beneficiary is Harrer, who takes care of the second GAK gate with his head. In the 45th minute it almost comes to 2: 1, but Oh fails after Nakamura-Assist at Keeper Not – halftime score: 2: 0.
The home side with the well-deserved threesome
Despite the two-goal lead in Graz, this encounter has not yet been decided. Because the Upper Austrians were quite an equal opponent in the first half. Much will depend on whether it will soon be possible to achieve the connecting gate that might throw the “red devils” off balance. The efforts of the Wieland troops then also go in this direction. This also works up to the sixteen meter mark on the other side, but then you are at the end of your game or the host knows how to act consistently. In the 54th minute, Captain Perchtold tried it from a distance, but this time Lawal was not surprised. In the 56th minute it gets too colorful for Andreas Wieland. The guest coach exchanges four times in the hope that something will change in the play area. 64th minute: Pfeifer with the carelessness, the new man Michlmayr marches alone towards the GAK gate, but puts the leather past. That would have been the initial spark that the Juniors Upper Austria would have needed. In the 69th minute, Schellnegger then had the opportunity to make it 3-0. But he finds his master twice in Juniors goalkeeper Lawal. In the 80th minute, the Plassnegger men finally ensure clear fronts. Erwin Softic maneuvers a Weberbauer corner into his own goal to make it 3-0. In the next round, the GAK 1902 will be on Sunday, April 18 at 10:30 a.m. in Klagenfurt. The Juniors OÖ already have the right of home against the FAC Vienna the day before with the start time at 2:30 p.m.
